Fortnite is coming to the Xbox PC store

Fortnite is going to be available on the Xbox on PC app beginning November 18th. Right now on PC, you have to launch the game from the Epic Games Launcher, but if you prefer the Xbox on PC app, that’s going to be an option.

The game is also joining the Xbox Play Anywhere program, meaning “your progress and purchases will seamlessly follow you across Xbox consoles, PC, and supported gaming handhelds,” Microsoft says. That could make it easier to play on Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X, if you want to get in some drops on one of the handhelds.

On November 18th, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will get Epic’s Fortnite Crew subscription as an additional perk, too. With a Crew subscription, you get a new skin and 1,000 V-Bucks every month as well as access to all of Fortnite’s various battle passes so you can earn items to use in the game’s many modes.
